DR. RELFE’S
Botanical Drops!
are every year increasing their long established repu
tation. Tl^ey have outlived many rival preparations,
and are continually gaining upon public confidence.
The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin
istered for manv years, as a thorough rem *dy for that
well known and prevalent class of inveterate diseases
which originate from a vitiated habit of body, or*an he
reditary predisposition in the patient, and generally
appear under the various and distressing shapes of
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St Anthony's Fire,
Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Foul and Oh
atinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Eyes, jcald Head, and
Venereal Taint.
In the last mentioned condition of the system, the
Botsnicsl Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk
ing poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus
prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he
reditary disease on his offspring.
Dr. Relfe'a Botanical Drops are successfully used in
cases of violent eruptions after the measles—red
blotches —pimples on the face—festering emotions on
the skin—and other diseases of the external surface;
and are one of the best Spring and Autumnal physics
known, to free the system from humors
A physician of eminence, who had witness'd the ef
ficacy of this article, hid the candor recently to ack
nowledge to the proprietor, that he considered it the
best me licine known, for the complaints for which it
is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at
•" the head of the whole class of such remedies.

WHITE TEETH! AYD HEALTHY OTTDXS!
THOSE who would retain or restore these desirable
personal advantages, are assured that no compo
sition can be obtained superior t: the
BRITISH ANTISEPTIC DENTRIFICE.
This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every
respect, and has, for many years past, given universal
satisfaction wherever it has been used.
The Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and
other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently
enter the composition of tooth powders in common
use, and it whitens the enamel of the teeth without
doing it the lea-t injury. The regular us-- of this ad
mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing
the accumulation of tartar, operates as the best pre
ventive of the Tooth Ache. The Dentrifice removes
discolorations, and restores the beautiful native white
ness of the enamel. As its application braces and
atrengthens the Gums it secures to them their healthy
and flerid hue, and, by removing all offensive foreign
accumulations from the teeth, preserves the natural
sweetness of the breath. Pric-* 50 cents

Consumption!
Asthma! X Catarrh!
IN that long train of disease# which seem to grow j
with the growth of civilized society, Consumption
takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human ,
lift; yet this dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its
earlier stages. It is only when neglected that it ar
rives at the terrific maturity which so often baffles the
sagacity of professional scteuce. An obstinate cough
is the customary forerunner of the pulmonary con- i
sumption Improper neglect in the timely adminis
tration of simple and salutary remedies, is sure to be
reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive
symptoms —oppression of the breast; greeni>h and
bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri
veiled extremeties, and general emaciation of the
whole bodv; prostration of strength; Boshed cheeks; ;
swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses
sionof the mental faculties, and while hope still wliis
1 pers her flattering tale—cold extieraitics, and a pre
mature death. # .
i For the various stages of this complaint, one of the
most approved remedies ever yet discovered is
DR. RELFE'S ASTHMATIC PILLS.
Ti)is exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and
innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid
cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc
edin a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit- j
ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter
minxtion of ihe disorder.
As the Pills require in ordinary esses no confine
ment, they may be administered 'with confidence and
safety to all ages and classes of people. Unexampled •
success hat hitherto attended their administration in a ;
great variety of cases; and the proprietor can refer to
a multitude, which testify to their efficacy in reviving
the emaciated victim from the bed of disease, and re
storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and
activity.
Price #1 for whole boxes ofdO pills, and 50 cents for
half do. of 12 pills, with directions.
Debilitated Females!
flSHE complaints peculiar to the female |>»rt of the
J. community, have been long successfully treated
bv the administration of the Aromatic Pills, originally
prescribed and compounded by Ur. Uelfe. They
cleanse the blood from those disorders of the female
constitution, for which the pills are an effectual speci
fie; they restores freecircul* ion, reform the irregular
operations of the sanguiferous system, and rectify the
disordered habits. l*he proprietor’s confidence in the
superior excellence of this equally innocent and pow
erful preparation, is founded on the most decisive tes
timony from many restored patients. He can assure
this portion of the public, that when
DR. RELFE’3 AROMATIC PILLS FOR
FEMALES
are regularly taken, according to the directions, ac
company ing them, they revive and establish the desir
ed healthy habits, and restore to the psllid counte
nance the natural glow of health and good spirits.
Married ladies will find the pills equally useful, ex
cept in cases of paegnancy, when they must not be
takeni neither must they be taken by persons of hec
tic or consumptive habits. They may be used success
fully by either men or women in all Hypochondriac,
Hysteric or Vapourish disorders. In all cases of this
description, the pills purify, invigorate, and revive the
disordered system. Price #1 50'S box.

BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.
SHEPHERDS PATENT SPECIFIC
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,)
Prepared by C. HERSTOSS, near Frederick
town, Maryland.
UicuMoau. Va July 15, 1850.
THEpdblic will be pleased to understand that I was
the original discoverer of Judkins' Ointment, and
sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817,
until the expiration cif the same; but, having connect
ed myself with Dr. Judkins in.the commencement, I
permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term
of the patent having expired on the 26th June, I have
made an improvement in the same, and taken ont a pa
tent thereon. N. SHEPHERD.
QCT Imposition having been practised upon the nub !
lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of “ Jud
kins' Ointment/’ ttie proprietor avails himself of the
authority granted to him in his letters patent, now to
;*|| the Ointment after his own name. Henceforth it
will be known by the name of
SHEPHERD'S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT
MEN 1', (formerly Judkins'.)
When l first made anil prepared this Ointment, and
had, in several instances, experienced its good effects,
I sent it to several physicians, with instructions in what
cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the m •
ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded
that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many
hands, some of whom would probably undertake tc
make it, artd knowing the difficulty of the process —ne
vertheless, it might be. progated in this-adulterated si
tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi
nal—anil in this way its good effects would be obhtera
ted Under these considerations, I secured the origi
nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases
some of which have so long baffle J the skill of me
dical science: . .
1st White swellings of every description;
2d Sore lees and ulcers of long standing,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularly thosi
hardened tumors in woman’s breasts, which oftentime
terminate in ulcetated cancers;
4th Felons; or whatsome people know by thenami
of catarrhs, of every description.
5th Rheumatic pains of the joints;
6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or it
whatever part situate;
7th Tetters of allkinds. In this complaintthe pa
tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the par
out of water;
8th Chilblains or parts affected by frost
It is also one of the best remedies for burns am
scalds. It eases the pain and draws tlie fire out in i
short time.
For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel
lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to tin
medical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap
plications, (as it does not contain the smallest atom o
any preparation of the mineral,) because it does no
lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold.
This Ointment lias cured sores of many years Rtand
ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal tin
external sore, in consequence of the bones hecomin,
carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries
iucrei.se the quantity of discharge, remove the offen
sive smell, and ease the pains.
It cures the worst FcloJs and Whitlows, on applica
tion of forty-eight hours

of tumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure
in every instance. I consider it the most decided and
efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause
whatit mayi and l have found nothing so good for
wounds of any description It may be proper to
add, that the cure of a tumor called white swelling,
given over by the most distinguished physicians as in
curable, and which th :y decided would, without ampu
tation, prove fatalto the patient, was, under my imme

and the patient is in fine health Uislimb affected by
the tumor being restored to a perfectstate of sound

Doctor S. H. P. Lie, New London, Conn.
Dear Sir—It is now upwards of twenty years that 1
have used your New London Hilious Pills in my fami
ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al- !
most every description of disease, and believe they sa
ved many a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely |
use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary |
in their operation and effects until a few months past;
and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve- >
ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you
had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac
ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this
impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of j
yours in a New York newspaper, designating spurious
imitations from your own manufacture, by having your
WHITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions,
and that in no instance were the imitations signed with
pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other
respact. Finding those l had without this test, I be
gan to suspect that “ all was not fair in medicine, as
well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe
caries for your pills, with your written signature. 1
found many without this test, but none with it, until 1
came to the Messrs Keerls’, who assured me they had
them direct from you. I procured a boa, and on Using
them, found the same effects from them 1 had always
experienced, *nd' ain so much rejoiced on finding my
•e'fin Mpoweion of a medicine I ao highly prize, that
that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this
information.
To avoid the imoootion of counterfeits and spu
rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has
only to examine the bill of directions covering each
box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im
mediately under my printed name, they are genuine,
and prepared hy me; but if osti the printed name is
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

HYGEIANISM.
TIIE following testimonials of the superior efficacy
of the HYGEIAN MEDICINES in the cure of
' our diseases, speak in a language which must carry
conviction to the minds of the most skeptical:—
Hrow.x UxivtnsiTT, Dec.25, 1833.
To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent fur the Hygeian Vege
table Universal Medicines, for the State of Rhode
‘ Island.
* i Sir—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com
\ pels me, in compliance with your request, to give a
5 j brief statement of a cure, which, I think, I received
■ from the Hygeian Medicines. 1 give publicity to the
i same the more cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps,
1 I may be useful to some of my fellow-men, who may
be afflicted with a similar disease.
My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption,
1 and that my real condition maybe explicitly unler
j stool, I state, in connexion with the relation of the
cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep
* | tember, 1832, I caught a severe cold, which settled on
1 my lungs; I was confined to my room about one week,
with a fever, attended with c»nsi lerable cough; my
. cough soon abated, and apparently, I was regaining
: mv health; when, after about three weeks, in the
; course of the night, having returned the evening be*
' fore in usual health. I found myself bleed'ng at the
1 j lungs. I had not, to my knowledge, received any hurt
or strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut
I ed. 1 spat blood, occasionally, for four day a; it left
; me with some fever, pain in the breust, very little ap
’ ! petite, and withal, very weak
| A few weeks determined that I was in a decline I
received the attention of the most skilful Physicians,
who often seemed to check the progress of the dis
ease, and inspire the hope of a spee ly recovery. Uut
rel pse upon relapse, and each bringing me lower
than the preceding, seemed to baffle all human skill,
. and warn me of an approaching dissolution. Thus,
months after the first attack, a “ tubercle” [small ul
cer] broke in the lungs, after which I spat blood, one
i day. I continued to decline tw omonths longer, when
I obtained the Hygeian Medicines I had now been
) unable to sit up a whole day, for four months and a
| half. Mv feet were cold and lifrle-s, sleep unsound,
| j cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the
; afternoon from seventy-five to one hundred per mi
t 1 nute, food produced great distress, appetite very
t ' poor, pain in the breast directly opposite the heart,
! attended with some cough, Uc. he. Such was my
condition, when I first became acquainted wi.tli the
Hygeian Medicines I commenced taking the medi
cines, four pills at a dose, and increased the dose dai
i ty, one up to the number of twelve. In about ten
days, my appetite became good, and find produced
no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing,
and in about forty days tiie symptoms of the disease
i_i_i.. _n i:__i
I took the medicine sixty days regularly every night,
averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num
ber taken at any one time was fifteen. After this, I
took about four doses a week, until I had taken about
thirteen hundred piils when 1 found inyself restored
to health. After I commenced the flvg- ian, I took
no other medicine. One year from the first attack, I
was able to resume my studi.-s in college, where I
have since remained without any recurrence of the
disease Hitherto I have been convalescent; and it
my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I
have less pains, and am more free from temporary
' sickness; than at any time since my earliest recollec
j tion. Yours, with respect,
I HORACE T. LOVE.

Dear Sir—I wish to state that inv sister, sfter severe
suffering, and employing a medical man three years,
was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines.
Her complaint was a violent pain and soreness in her
side; indeed, to use her own expression, her >s on
| one side had turned in, actu illy deformed The pain
: was a violent burning p.«in, almost intolerable; so see
1 vere, that she could not sit up for upwards of three
| years- It was occasioned by over.lacing lu-rs o If. and
; perhaps, over exertion with it. .\ftcr using s few,
doses of No. 1 and 2, alternately, about eight pills for
a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in
I their use, she is row restored to health; and I have
I no objection to this ca-e being made public for the
benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours truly,
II. DYER.
Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb 8, 1834
Injustice to Dr. M., her medical adviser, when he
heard her improvement in health, he recommended
persevercnce in the use of he medicines.
This valuable Medicine, being composed only of
| vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted,
1 on oath, as containing not one particle of mercurial,
mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un
congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destruc
tive to the hum*n frame,) is found to be perfectly
harmless to the most tender tge or weakest frame, un
der every stage of human suffering; the most pf asant
and benign in it operation, and at the same time the
most searching out the root of every complaint, how
ever deep, and of performing a cure, that was ever
offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is
produced by the least trouble to the patients, by
merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and
| being called a few extra tunes to the purposes of eva
cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or
exhaustion of bodily strength, and without tht fear of
catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way
different from their accustomtd habits.
! These pills cure all cases, and cannot be taken to
excess Kxpericnce, which is the touchstone of all
i human knowledge, has long borne testimony to the
fact; and extensive use of tiiem lias already verified
j its truth in this country.
I These medicines cure by purging; and yet the weak,
the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are
j in a few days strengthened by their operation, because
